Siemens 6SE7012-0TP50-Z | 2A MASTERDRIVES MC Servo Converter

Siemens 6SE7012-0TP50-Z | SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC Motion Control Drive

The Siemens 6SE7012-0TP50-Z is a precision-engineered AC/DC drive belonging to the high-performance SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Motion Control (MC) series. This compact unit excels in managing high-dynamic motor applications, providing exceptional torque control and speed accuracy for specialized industrial processes. Because it supports a wide input range of 510-650 VDC, it is ideal for common DC bus configurations in multi-axis systems. The drive delivers a stable 2 Amp output current, making it a perfect match for smaller 0.75 kW servo motors. Furthermore, the integrated G91, C23, and K80 option codes signify specialized firmware and hardware enhancements tailored for complex positioning tasks. This drive remains a vital component for maintaining the precision and throughput of legacy production lines worldwide.

Reliability in a demanding factory environment depends on the drive's ability to maintain high-frequency switching without overheating or signal loss. This model features a sophisticated internal air-cooling system and comprehensive electronic protection against earth faults and short circuits. Moreover, the MASTERDRIVES MC architecture provides the low-latency communication required for perfectly synchronized robotic movements and high-speed material handling. Although Siemens transitioned this product line to "Discontinued" status in late 2020, it continues to serve as an indispensable spare part. Therefore, investing in an original 6SE7012-0TP50-Z unit ensures your machinery avoids the high costs and complexities of a full system migration.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can this drive be powered directly from a standard 3-phase AC mains supply?

No, this specific model is designed for a DC input (510-650 VDC) and usually requires an external rectifier or common DC bus.

What do the Z-options G91, C23, and K80 represent?

These codes signify specific factory-installed options, such as specialized communication boards, expanded I/O, or specific firmware for positioning tasks.

Is this drive compatible with the newer SINAMICS S120 series?

While they perform similar functions, they are physically and electronically different; a migration requires hardware replacement and engineering changes.

Why is the 6SE7012-0TP50-Z categorized as a "Servo Drive" in many systems?

It belongs to the "Motion Control" series, which is specifically optimized for the high-precision feedback loops required by servo motors.
